Oh Z Spoke Alright

Z Spoke by Zac Posen, are you serious? You went and you gosh darn did it! Wow. I mean, I really feel like this was the show of the season. It was fun, vibrant, energetic, and a huge wake up call from other shows. Like, hello, we need a little bit more umph in our lives these days what with the "economy" (I use quotations here as I feel like this is very over used, but still relevant; hell I was laid off in 2009, it wasn't pretty!), Facebook is taking over our lives/documenting each breath we take, and because the San Francisco 49ers are 0-2. Seriously, it's like Zac knew exactly how to cheer me up and there is reason to be hopeful; things are getting better in the financial world, I am constantly up to date on what people are wearing via their FB albums, and it is a looooong season (look out Kansas City!). Thank you, Zac. I needed a little pick me up.

Tibi-Licious

It is no surprise to anyone who has ever seen me in public that I love the brand Tibi. I love the colors, the cut, the fabric, the look, the patterns; come to think of it, I don't know what I do not like about it. I even have an affinity for the designers name - Amy Smilovic (is this too narcissistic? It is my blog after all).

Anywho, it comes as no surprise to me that I was enamored with Tibi's Spring 2011 collection. I loved the simple styling of the hair and make up for one, but even more than that were the shoe options. They were classic - leopard loafers anyone? - looked comfortable, and very modern.

Check it out yourself and see if you two are vying for "classic with a twist" Tibi Collection.

Like A Rhinestone Cowgirl

I, for one, love when Ralph Lauren uses his Southwestern influences on the runway. There is something about this relaxed vibe - suede, and feathers and turquoise, oh my!- that really resonates well with me. Perhaps it is because in another life I can see myself living in New Mexico, soaking up the sun while making Tex Mex inspired food and raising cattle some where out in the acres of property I own. While this life has yet to come to fruition, the one I have now allows me to covet the clothing Ralph Lauren put down the cat walk last week in NYC. Let's just all say it together in unison, "he's done it again!"

Marc Your Google Calendars People

Marc Jacobs launched his first E-Commerce site today, which dear readers, means you can buy his clothing online from him. Not ShopBop, not ShopStyle, not Revolve, but MJ himself! Oh this could be sooooo good, or so very bad. Only time will tell.

Do yourself a favor and check out the site. It is pretty darn cute!

Sad Day In London Town

Nearly 1,000 people gathered yesterday at St. Paul's Cathedral in London to honor the late Alexander McQueen. The likes of SJP, Naomi Campbell, Anna Wintour and Stella McCartney were present to remember the man who created a world where fashion and fantasy joined hands. The tragic end to a talented man's life will never be forgotten, nor will his designs and interesting take on colors/patterns/runway shows. Let's all take a moment to think about the man, the mystery and the mayhem of Mr. McQueen and remember him as a true artist.

Riddle Me This

Does she need to exist? What on earth?

Out of sorts

Dear Readers,

I am so very sorry for being gone from the blog for the last several days. While it is Fashion's busiest time, it is also mine with fashion related events (in addition to the start of the NFL season). While I was away I was planning events for Seth Aaron Henderson-winner of Project Runway Season 7, Good Charlotte-their new album drops on November 2nd, and Macy's annual Passport Fashion Show. I was in LA last week for the show and witnessed some amazing D List celebrity sightings... Great stories always follow Macy's Passport.

Again, I am sorry and I am back in business!

Love,
Me
